The White-House K.tten.

Mrs Cleveland's little cousin, May
Cadman. who is staying at the White
House, affords n great deal Of amuse-
ment" by her quaint, womanly airs.
May has an Angora kitten, and with it
alone she condescends to throw aside
all restraint and be the little child she
is. The kitten is spotless white. and
looks very much like an pledump-
ling. it is so round, plump. and white.
Several days ago Mollie Villas visited
May, and all day long the two busted
themselves in hunting for novelties in
the way of amusements. Mollie is full
of life and good humor The girls
played with" the kitten ana Hector, the
White-EIouse poodle. bending all their
energies to make the two friends Hec-
tor did not like the cat at first, so Mol
lie said afterward. but she soon sue
ceeded in making him tolerate it. In
the afternoon after the house was
closed the children went into the East
Room to play with the kitten. They
had jolly time romping in the large
room. and the shfieks of childish glee
as the kitten did something peculiarly
''cute" reverberatcd through the man
sion. Mollic said the President lid not
like the kitten. and when asked tho
reason said. II guess lie don't like cats
or dogs anyway. The attaches of The
house are making bets on how the
kitten will die whether the President
will tread on it or Hector eat it up. Z
Washington Gossip IN the Baltimore

Benjamin Titus. of Trenton. n. j..
has somewhat of 4 mania for collecting
curiosities. Among his latest acquisi-
tons is quite a large specimen of what
is commonly known us the maidstone.
Before it was accidentally broken by n
fall on stone floor it was about seven
inches long and an inch thick, and
shaped like calls tongue. On wet
ting the finger and applying ii 10 the
stone the latter will adhere to the skin
and' can only be pulled off wi(r con-
siderable eXertion, Should there be a
cut on the finger Mr.. Titus says that this
application will cause pains to shoot up
,he arm MS far asothe shoulder. Accord
ing to the popular belief madstones are
supposed 20 cure rattlesnake bites and
4olpreclude all necessity for sending q
dog-bilten mortal across to NJ. Fasteur.
The stone is extremely hard, although
very light in weight, aud it is'of dull
gray color. The present owner has
never had chance to test its virtues.

RICHMOND, Va, March 23.-The calling

holders do not exchange their holdings Tor

that aEood mojority Of TIM members Of tho
body lavor the proposition, and the Sen.
ate, at Ito preaeut way OF thinking, will do
The same. Certainly the situation is nov
y startling one, aud the foreign bond.
hold"ra are in close quarters. Such action
might be vutond by Governor Leo and fail
for want OF two-tt,irls majority over his
veto. But even this 10 not assured unless

CONVICT CONTRACT.
TIE WEBSTER WAGON COMPANY
Anxious to Have FIFTY Convicts Taken FROM
Them, and to Save II From Financial
E,nbarrassrne nt tho lIonrd wilt Agree
to This Reduction Of lis force,

The Board Of Directors OF the State
Pealtentiafy a. Moundsville, mot In reg.
ulaE monthly session at that ina.i,u.ioa
yesterday, and adjourned 10 meet there
again to-day. Las. evening Hon. Hiram
r. Howard, Of Point Pleasant, and Hon.
John NJ. Collins, Of Charleston, two mem.
beers otthe Board, were at the stamm
House, having como up 10 spend the
nigh! here and 10 attend tho theatre.
From them 1t wal learned that nothing
was transacted at yesterdays meeting
but routine business, but at to.day'a
meeting It Is probable that something
will DO done to relieve tho Webster
Wagon Company; In lac. at yesterdays
nesting 1t was practically decided to do
thin.
Tho Webster Wagon Company Is one Of
tho firms leasing convicts under contract
At this tnstftutiou. Under the last cor.
tract It made with the State it haa the la.
Dor OF ono hundred convicts. These for
several month"; past have heon turning
out on m average twelve, finished wagons
a day. The wagon trade has been duh
since early In tho fall, and the result has
been that the company has been piling up
finished wagons In lis warehouses until
now 1t has over 5000 wagons on hand, and
unless something Is done to relieve 1t will
be obliged TO resort to como desperate
measure.
Last winter the pressure became go
heavy that the company WAS anxious to
throw up its contract and forfeit the large
bond 1t bad given, but the Board persuad.
gu 1t to hold on until alter the meeting OF
me Legislature, promising 10 endeavor to
ftave aot1e law passed that would enable
the Board to furnish the company the
desired relief. A measure was passed
BY, the Legislature allowing the Board TO
either annul or modify any contract. 1t
10 now proposed to reduce the forcs under
contract 10 the Webster Wagon company
to fifty men. This will reduce tho daily
production one hall and enable the com.
paty to get along.
What will BIO done with tho fifty con-
victs who will be thrown into idleness by
such a move, the Board does not know,
but II ieels that it will be best TO modify
tho Webster Compauy's contract so that
only fifty shall he idle than to cause the
company to forfeit its bond aud have 100
idle ielons to dispose OF. The Board will
advertise for proposals to leaBe the fifty
that will be released.
